Time to find space and share some colour. While our lives are still with being locked down and locked out by borders due to Covid, have a look for a wall that needs a boost of colour and grab a bargain. I am wanting to paint now more than ever and need space so you’d be helping me out and boosting my creative energy if you purchase an artwork and that would hopefully give you a boost too.
I can arrange to deliver your work in a Covid safe delivery or depending on location can arrange to have it posted for you (postage would be extra cost).
I can send you more photos of works on walls to help you visualise your selection.
Email me if you’re interested in something refreshme2016@gmail.com
During the Murwillumbah Arts Trail we asked visitors to make their mark on a community canvas with the intent to auction the final artwork with all proceeds being donated to Starlight Foundation.
Well it’s finished and the auction is now open for bidding.
How to place a bid? – simply send and email with your bid price and contact details to refreshme2016@gmail.com
How do I know if my bid was successful? – after a couple of weeks the person with the highest bid will be asked to make a direct donation the Starlight Foundation and show their receipt to receive the artwork. All bidders will be kept in the loop of the bidding results.
Why donate to Starlight Foundation? – I was a school teacher for over 30 years and still teach a small group of children art classes. I’ve seen the difference that the Starlight Foundation has made to kids and families at a time of need and hope. If making art can help an organisation that does this then, why not!
How much can I bid? – whatever you can afford – someone needs to start the love.
